Worth checking out some of their other stuff. 'Moody' sounds like a bunch of bad-asses from Brooklyn who've grown up with hip-hop and suddenly stumbled upon New Order.

Ricky 4000 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) I was on the phone to my best mate (and drummer) tonight, he's had a bass for one week - and these are what "sausage fingers" is playing: (he got good taste). 😎 Edited June 17, 2019 by Ricky 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wilson brought them over to Manchester and Martin Hannet recorded their early songs so sounding New Order-esque is almost inevitable, his production style was pretty unique. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout. I think the bass does drive it and it's always gone down a storm in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'd nominate 'Another Brick In The Wall (pt 2) if no-one else has. Especially on the outro. The bass in Tom Petty's 'Break Down' lays down the vibe for the whole song, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
